1- Lebron will play 64+ games next season ?

You’re basically asking whether he will be healthy next season. Who can predict this? It’s a crapshoot. 

2- Ricky Rubio will be top 5 in APG ?

I’ll say no, given that he was 17th last year on a much better team.

3- Markelle Fultz will average 10+ppg ?

Is he healthy? Is his mind right? Unless you are part of the Magic organization or the Fultz family, who the hell knows?

4- Mitchell Robinson will lead the lead in blocks ?

I am pretty sure he will not.

5- Ant Davis will play 64+ games next season ?

See question #1.

6- Sac Kings will make playoffs ?

On paper I think there are 8 clearly better teams, and I see them, the Pelicans and the Thunder all around .500. But one or more of the teams above them could have injuries or other issues. I’d give them like a 1-in-3 chance.

7- Jonathon Isaac will score 14+ppg?

No. That’s a pretty big jump from 9.6 ppg for a guy who doesn’t shoot at high percentages.

8- Don Mitchell will be an all-star ?

No. Everyone knows Gobert is MVP of the Jazz, and they won’t be good enough for two all-stars.

9- Zion will win ROY ?

That’s a good guess.

10- Blake Griffin will play 65+ games next season ?

See #1 and #5. How do you predict whether someone will get injured?

11- RJ Barrett will shoot 40+FG% ?

I’ll take that bet. It’s not a very high bar for a #3 pick in the draft.

12- Kawhi will play 64+ games next season ?

See #1, #5 and #10. I will say his track record suggests it’s not likely, but Doc Rivers is not big on resting stars. If he doesn’t play 64 games it won’t be because the Clips are just being cautious with him.

13- Derick Rose will out score Reggie Jackson for the pistons ?

If Rose has a healthy year I’ll say yes. RJ had a pretty good year for the Pistons stats-wise but Casey only played him 28 mpg. Rose outshot him and had a better assist-to-turnover ratio.

14- Phoenix win 40+ games ?

Absolutely not.

15- Rockets make it to 2nd round of playoffs ?

If they are healthy going into playoffs, I am certain of it.

16- Trae Young will be an all-star ?

No. Simmons, Irving and Walker are locks to make it if healthy. Bledsoe and Lowry could beat him out as well.

17- Carmelo will play overseas or retire ?

I’m thinking China. If Jimmer can average 30 there, Melo could put up Chamberlain-type numbers.

 The ABA’s golden age is here!

1. Will Lebron play 64+ games next season?

Yes, barring a devestating injury, he needs to play 70+ games in order for lakers to make the playoffs in the west considering how thin the lakers are. 

2- Ricky Rubio will be top 5 in APG ?

No, I think atleast 5 of Westbrook, Harden, Lowry, Paul, Trae Young, Ben Simmons, Lonzo, Fox, Jokic, Lebron, Doncic, Walker, Conley

3- Markelle Fultz will average 10+ppg ?

No, I think there’s a greater chance Fultz sits out again than averages 10+ ppg 

4- Mitchell Robinson will lead the lead in blocks ?

Yes, he was 4th in the league in blocks and played half the total mins as Lopez, Turner, and Gobert. He’ll get more mins this year.

5- Ant Davis will play 64+ games next season ?

Yes, he’s a free agent after the season and will be focused on his health and durability.h

6- Sac Kings will make playoffs ?

No, west is still too deep.

7- Jonathon Isaac will score 14+ppg ?

Yes, I know he’s still got a lot of work to do but I’m a Isaac believer and think he makes a jump this year.

8- Don Mitchell will be an all-star ?

Yes

9- Zion will win ROY ?

No, I think Ja will put up better stats and it will be a repeat of Lilliard over Davis

10- Blake Griffin will play 65+ games next season ?

Yes, Blake is underrated at this point and am cautiously optimistic on his health based on the way he has changed his game

11- RJ Barrett will shoot 40+FG% ?

No, I’m very down on Barrett and don’t think he will be a bust and shoot below 40%

12- Kawhi will play 64+ games next season ?

Yes, Doc plays his guys hard and Kawhi will get less rest this season.

13- Derick Rose will out score Reggie Jackson for the pistons ?

Yes, I think Jackson get’s moved by the deadline

14- Phoenix win 40+ games ?

No Phoenix is still terrible and the west is still loaded.

15- Rockets make it to 2nd round of playoffs ?

Yes 

16- Trae Young will be an all-star ?

No

17. Melo?

Never getting another NBA job again and too much pride too play overseas so defacto retirement. 

 

[IndianaBasketballParticipant]

1- Lebron will play 64+ games next season?

Yes. He takes great care of his body and he should be fresh.

2- Ricky Rubio will be top 5 in APG?

No, not with Devin Booker dominanting the ball like he does.

3- Markelle Fultz will average 10+ppg?

Yes. Reports are he’s healthy. I’ve seen his jumpshot and it doesn’t look too bad. 

4- Mitchell Robinson will lead the lead in blocks?

No. That’s a deep front court rotation with him, Randle, Portis, Morris and Gibson. I don’t see his mins increasing much.  

5- Ant Davis will play 64+ games next season?

Yes, he’ll play at least 70.

6- Sac Kings will make playoffs?

No. LAC, LAL, DEN, GSW, HOU, UTA, POR & SAS are my top 8 teams (not necesarily in that order)

7- Jonathon Isaac will score 14+ppg?

No, but he’ll average double figures. 

8- Don Mitchell will be an all-star?

No, but he should be better more efficient than he was last season. 

9- Zion will win ROY?

Yes, I think so. He’ll put up good numbers, ridiculous highlights and I think the Pelicans will compete for the 8th seed. 

10- Blake Griffin will play 65+ games next season?

Tough when it comes to him. His injury history is significant. I’ll say yes though. I think he plays at least 75 games. 

11- RJ Barrett will shoot 40+FG%?

Close, but no. 

12- Kawhi will play 64+ games next season?

Yes. He’ll be healthier next season, so he won’t need as much maintenance as last season. 

13- Derick Rose will out score Reggie Jackson for the pistons?

Yes. 

14- Phoenix win 40+ games?

No. 

15- Rockets make it to 2nd round of playoffs?

Yes. 

16- Trae Young will be an all-star?

No, but he’s about to have a great season. 

17- Carmelo will play overseas or retire?

He’d retire before he played overseas
